Good stretch this week, I haven’t lollipopped at all, not even in veg. It’s fairly leafy everywhere and I want to get in there and defoliate bottom 1/3 soon. A lot of dead leaves I imagine, just been so busy and been neglecting the grow. Funny, how when you first start out and you’re overly micro-managing and then as the months go by, it starts to become a chore. I ordered a light from China, a Meijiu (HLG)550 V3. HLG Canada didn’t want to give me a decent discount so, unfortunately had to ship my money outside the country. Saved 50% for a quality light though. Might take a bit to get here, been processing in Hong Kong for 4 days. So far the leaves are healthy but last run they started to turn deficient after the stretch. In my defence, with the last grow, I was just starting on the dry nutrient regimen and made mistakes. Hopefully it stays healthy throughout bloom cycle with new changes and knowledge. New reservoir this week as follows: Partial drain, most of it gone, but 100mL RO added and; 40 gram cal nit 30 jacks 30 mag sulph. 100mL mighty bloom enhancer 100mL head masta 300 mL h2o2 25 mL Fulvic 40mL Humic pH ended up high with addition of bloom enhancer, added pH down to 5.8. PPM 1360. Wednesday-Day 10 Added water and some nutes. PPM 1200 pH 6.0 Started a small section of lower 1/3 defoliation Day 11 Did some more defoliation, added a video to show progress. Day 12 Finished lollipop on right plant. Moved some branches around. Added 20 liters and 20g cal nit, 10g of both jacks and magnesium sulphate.

I did partily harvest the Special Queen the microscope shows some orange/brown trichomes they are not enough to call her ready to harvest but just like with the Painkiller im scared of bud rot and next week will be raining non stop again so saftey first thats also the reason why i removed almost all the leaves, to improve airflow. Honey Cream receives a good amount of fertilizer not sure if shes able to use it all since its getting cold and the sun is almost never shining. I water with a concentrated solution because the ground is already soaking wet. I guess i'll harvest the rest of the special queen this coming week.

Week 1 of flower and she started her stretch. Using General Hydroponics Trio for feed along with TPS Signal and Recharge for soil. I'm considering adding a 2nd trellis, but it depends on how the next week or two goes. Did some light and final defoliating. Could have went more but I didn't want to risk overdoing, not until I'm more experienced anyway. Plus I recommend having a plant to experiment on and take some high-reward risks concurrent with your main grow.

2/17: I spent a little time rearranging today. I bought some 32" x 14" plastic ventilated storage shelves and cut the legs down on two of them so I have some different-height platforms for the shorties in the garden. I should also be able to easily flush 6 plants in 5 gallon pots, or 9 plants in 3 gallon pots at a time now, that's a win!👈 2/18: I debated whether to feed or not, and settled on watering them with about 1/2 gallon each. including bembe, cal-mag, signal, humic acid, and a little beastie bloomz. The new dehumidifier is pulling about a gallon and a half per day from the air, so I should be able to feed them in a coupe of days. I've reached the ceiling again with my lights. The Soooperrunt has caught up to the tallest plant in the garden. She's very narrow compared to the rest, but she'll produce 100% more than I ever imagined, so that's a win! These three plants remain very dark green in color compared to all the other varieties. 2/19: Rainy day outside, so I'm pulling in 99% humidity, plus the pots are still petty saturated, but the new dehumidifier is keeping up. RH is holding at about 45% today.👍 2/20: Day 31 of flower...a semi-solution occurred to me that allowed me to raise the lights another 3-4 inches! Now I'm truly maxxed out... 2 of them have been slow to flower did a 300% stretch, but the 3rd is budding up nicely and only did a 200% stretch. Soooperrunt has stretched 30" from when I started flowering her...yikes! I really needed everybody to finish in the same week so I could get my Spring autos going...😶 I'm still hoping that they will get their groove-on and finish by the EHD(3/11), but it's not looking possible at this point... They're likely to be good producers, so I'm not bitching too loudly.. I took photos and videos of all the plants today since I had to empty the closet and it wasn't a feeding day. 2/21: I fed them today with about 3/4 gallon each including beastie bloomz, tiger bloom, big bloom, signal, bembe, and cal-mag...no grow big this time. 2/22: The darkest green plants in the garden. Wonderful structure, stacking up really well. Their top leaves really reach for the sun. My current favorites.👍 2/23: I ordered some Terpinator because I'm not so sure about Signal's efficacy at this point....I'm usually dealing with odors more by now..😕 That's it for week 9-

I started the week by selecting the 3 best plants to put them into their final 26l pots with some Dynomyco. I made the selection based on their sizes, shapes and roots. I increased the light output from 25% to 50% and started the week with 23h of light per day. After a few days I noticed what I think are light burns on every plants so I reduced the number of hours/day to 18h and it seems ok now. I checked the pH, not optimum but alright for soil and I always have this 7.0 with this soil and this pH meter (don't know if it works properly or not because it's always 7.0 in this soil, never 7.1 or 6.9). The 3 plants grew a lot this week, it's one of my best growth rate so far so I'm very happy 😁 The Wedding Cheesecake is by far above the two others, it already developped 5 nodes so I topped it (first time it happens to me that soon). As usual with this soil, I think they have a bit of nitrogen toxicity but nothing critical. Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Gorilla Cookies : 18.5cm Purple Lemonade : 15cm Wedding Cheesecake : 22cm

more and more trichomes and the buds are getting bigger. its getting smelly.

All good. Time to flush maybe?

She is looking good growing bigger and bushier! I am working hard to get her nice and big!

Hi everyone, here’s the update for this week along with some beautiful videos... 😉 Soil-Organic-LST Day 78~84 The autumn colour effect is more visible.This week, I topped up my soil with Tea leaves fertilizer (25g) and bone meal (25g).I love growing organic.The buds are looked like what they will become when they are growing in nature.I’ve already used my potting mixed for my last grow.This one is even better than the last potting.But I still want to test and know each and every of the NPK and other micro nutrient ratio.So still need to learn alot.No overdose, only got what is in the pot.But need to top dressing.Love those buds’ colour very much... 😊 Soil RO water Amino power - 1ml/L Baking soda - 0.25tsp/gallon pH-6.0 ppm-60 Run off pH-6.8 ppm-900 Soil Potting Mixed Recipe -Coco peat: 30% -Soil Compost: 20% (Soil,Sand,Cow manure,Ash) -Bone meal: 10% -Earthworm fertilizer: 10% -Perlite: 15% -Marble stone: 5% -Crash egg shell: 3% -Chicken manure: 3% -Banana peels: 2% -Gypsum: 2% Coco-Inorganic-ScrOG Day 78~84 I increased my Bloom and Micro feed and cut of Grow.The leaves are becoming lighter in green colour than before.It was right about cutting nute for one week.I will also stop feeding with Cal-Mag plus for a while.Her buds are totally different from Soil girl.Not so many pistils but denser than soil girl.For this Coco girl, I still need to learn the right concentration nutrient amount for each growing stage.Here’s my watering and other details... Coco RO water Bloom- 3.0ml/L Micro- 3.0ml/L Bud Candy- 0.5ml/L B52-1.0ml/L pH-6.5 ppm-1100 Run off pH-6.3 ppm-1000 Coco potting mixed recipe Coco peat : 70% Perlite : 30% Transplanted from 1gallon coco/soil mixed pot at Day-42.

gave them a potent compost tea Starting 4th week of flower

21/07: Weiterhin entwickelt sich die Papaya Punch prächtig. Sie lässt sich super trainieren und kommt mit der letzten Düngerportion super zurecht. Weiterhin warte ich, dass ihre Zeltpartnerin endlich bereit ist in die Blüte geschickt zu werden.

High GD community, Week 25, I dont want to start to pessimistic, but all waiting could been for nothing. Bad weather all week long, and its here to stay for a little while. The buds are not dense, so that might save it from budrot. The idea of just tturning the whole plant into hash, becomes stronger than before. I took off some branches of the wild child, so its a bit more open canopy. The greenhouse lady is pretty much save, but theres much less airflow passing there and humidity is skyrocketing. That will be it for this week, See yall soon Grow safe buds 🙏🍀🍀🍀🙏

Week 7

Greetings, fellow cultivators and green enthusiasts! Week 9 of our Apolo F1's cosmic journey has unfolded with a sense of anticipation and reflection as we approach the long-awaited harvest. Join me as we delve into the depths of this extraordinary odyssey, celebrating the growth, discovery, and botanical brilliance that has defined our journey thus far. Nine weeks ago, we embarked on this botanical odyssey with a tiny seedling filled with promise. From those humble beginnings, our Apolo F1 has blossomed into a majestic specimen, a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Each week has been a chapter in our shared story of growth and discovery, filled with moments of triumph, challenge, and unwavering dedication.

wow learning a lot now u know why the first experiment grew way smaller but here is the second auto ever grown

Caught up... things are going well, Bruce stretched like crazy and has evened up its canopy to the others idk if it's that big bud in it or what. Lilac has looked a solid week and half ahead of the others since flower, she looks wicked though, trichromes are starting to build. I've done my last training, I usually go hard on thinning but I'm trying to be conservative and only uncover buds under leaves. Still same feeding routine.. looking forward to the finish line but know this is an important time with terms and trichromes beginning to resonate... I sick at this guy's but I want to get better at chronicling my grows.. so hourly I will improve in the process of Journaling.

After the FBA was chopped, the LCC remains alone for at least one more week. You can really see the damages the flies left. A few leafes are turning red. Its time for a bit more color!
